Aug 2 Round Valley practice

Saturday we shredded Round Valley to build massive cardio.  Here are a few pics.

First day with the new jerseys.

Steep hills are no match for our Freshman girls!

JERSEYS ARE HERE

The jerseys have arrived in SLC!  We have started to hand them out to the student athletes.  If you missed the first order I am coordinating with Blackbottoms to set up a second order.  My best guess is that the second order would be available prior to the second HS MTB race.  The price for jerseys during the second round is $45.  The reason for the increased price of $10 per jersey is due to the fact that our order numbers are expected to be below 13 units per team.

Minimum jersey order 6 units

Quantity 6-12  $45

Quantity 13-20 $35

Start lining up family members, friends, teachers that would be interested in ordering jerseys.  We will hopefully open the on line ordering program soon.  More information to follow shortly.

HS MTB League financial scholarship form

For any student athlete requesting a financial need based scholarship please complete a scholarship form, available for printing here, and return to the address listed on the bottom of the form.  This scholarship, if awarded at 100%, would pay for your registration with NICA and your race entry fees ($250).  This is a time sensitive application and you should have your form submitted no later than 8 Aug.

HS MTB Practice Schedule Aug 5,7,9

If you ever have questions about practice being canceled due to weather remember to check here. Sometimes we have very little time to get the word out if a quick moving storm comes through the area so bookmark this address and go to the source....

Below is the training program for Aug 5, Aug 7, and Aug 9 and carpool sign up links.  Please note each day has a specific link so be sure to click on the link for the day(s) you need to carpool.
